=== MartynK is now known as MartynKeigher === MartynK is now known as MartynKeigher [08:58] Hi, [08:58] When I try to execute a thread creation program I am getting the following error. [08:58] allocate_stack: Assertion `size != 0' failed [08:59] I am working on Ubuntu 12.04LTS and I am using glibc version 2.15. [08:59] Please let me know if I have to install any additional packages to resolve this. [09:37] rajendra, you need to tell it the stacksize [10:07] Kanliot, you mean to sau I need edit the file "/etc/security/limits.conf" add an entry for stacksize/ [10:07] *say [12:59] Hello everyone. I have been having a browse around the beginners team wiki today and would like to get involved. Does anyone have any good advice? [13:00] hello Ade [13:00] Ade, join our #ubuntu-beginners-team channel [13:01] Ade, that is our off topic chat channel. This one we use for giving help [13:01] help to people with ubuntu problr,s === evilduanedesign is now known as duanedesign [13:03] Hi evil. Yes ok, I will do that now. Thanks [13:03] :) === yofel_ is now known as yofel === cortman is now known as thewildhaggis === thewildhaggis is now known as cortma === cortma is now known as cortman [14:52] Hey. anyone had any luck setting their ubuntu to an exchange mail server? [14:53] Sadly no:) [14:53] thunderbird? evolution? thoughts? [14:53] thats what i was expecting smartyboy! :( [14:53] lol [14:53] WINDOW 8 [14:53] Sorry [14:54] i know davmail has to play a role in it, but i DO have a Win7 VM on VBox...i guess i'll have to use that. [14:54] I want to type "/WINDOW 8" in irssi [14:54] would 'prefer' to use a ubuntu solution thoguh [14:54] WINDOW 3 [14:54] linux has never played nicely with exchange has it? you'd think by now it would ok. [14:55] how about receiver for ubuntu? any good? [14:55] do-able? [14:55] I don't even use exchange or receiver...Grrr [14:56] MartynKeigher, Setting up an exchange mail server is probably not really a beginner issue. You may have better responses in the channel #ubuntu. If you do not receive any satisfactory responses, here. :-) [14:58] oh i know...i have been using ubuntu for about 3 days now & i love it!! just wished that it would play nicer with Exchange. [15:03] MartynKeigher, There's also http://ubuntuforums.org A very, very valuable resource. [15:14] Thanks man! I'll give it a look! :) [15:14] or vice versa [15:14] hey i do have a question..about the notifications. [15:18] Fire away. [15:19] i have a twitter account in the broadcast option, but new tweets dont pop up [15:20] Oops, sorry, I know absolutely nothing about twitter. Or, I'm somewhat proud to say, any other 'social networking' site; no offense, just not my thing. :) [15:21] its the notification area that isnt working [15:23] Probably just a configuration, but just a guess. [15:36] Is there anyone in information security that would be willing to allow me to interview them for a college project? === Guest7985 is now known as mh0 [16:58] hi bizhanMona [17:00] hi cortman [17:01] I need some info on UEFI bios support on ubuntu? [17:04] http://askubuntu.com/questions/135621/ubuntu-12-04-using-uefi maybe [17:04] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting [17:04] does uefi allow ubuntu to support it. thats the question [17:06] i have uefi [17:06] never used it [17:06] though i think it does work [17:07] i thought canonnical "paid for a key" or whatever [17:07] that's secure boot [17:07] on locked down arm platforms [17:07] you're lucky i've listen to security podcasts over and over [17:08] i thought they were one in the same... though i dont follow ARM info uch [17:08] much* [17:09] i like my motherboard, although it eats up to much ram [17:09] for no good reason [17:18] holstein, did something just happen in #lubuntu? [17:18] i read it, but i missed it [17:19] how would I know if my motherboard supports UEFI or not, We just bought new mother board with Ivy Bridge and Sand bridge? [17:19] kanliot: nah.. its cool [17:20] bizhanMona, read the specs of you motherboard [17:21] yes it does say UEFI bios. [17:36] question, is it possible to create a Ubuntu image with x11 support and without any of the desktop gui environment? [17:38] yes [17:39] i did it recently coz i like gvim [17:42] kanliot: how did you manage to do it please? [17:42] install gvim [17:42] easy [17:43] vim-gtk [17:44] Okay let me explain more what I like to do: I like to have a livecd which after I installed and booted, there be no gui, only command line, then I can type startx command to start an x11 session... [17:46] you will have to install all the bits of the x11 system [17:46] not something for a beginner [17:46] at least install lxde [17:47] you could install lubuntu-core [17:47] i know that works [17:47] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall [17:47] does lubuntu-core supports UEFI boot also? [17:48] install lubuntu-core on a ubuntu server [17:48] or the minimal cd [17:48] yes [17:48] although you can turn off UEFI if you don't like it [17:48] in the bios [17:49] This is great thanks so much. Does lubuntu support the same ubuntu package also. We need to use AMD/ATI card which it has its own properiatory driver? [17:50] no need to [17:50] and yes it supports most ubuntu packages [17:51] although running some plugins require GNOME, KDE, etc [17:51] UNITY [17:51] really you will be running ubuntu [17:53] thanks our target system will be an embedded system seems like this has what I need. [17:53] one more question, we need to create our own ISO images, what is the build system for lubuntu? [17:55] bizhanMona, use remastersys [17:55] although i have never used it [17:55] so i can't really help you in a meaningful way [17:56] thank you thank you. You have given me lost us of info so I can start my investigation now. Thanks again. === cortman is now known as thewildhaggis === thewildhaggis is now known as cortman === cortman is now known as thewildhaggis === thewildhaggis is now known as cortman [20:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1213654/ <---problem i am having if anyone has a min to check it out....and hello, hope everyone is having a good day =D [20:39] that's odd. never seen that before [20:40] yeah...its only those 3 programs as far as i can tell, i tried opening a few programs to see if EVERYTHING was messin up, but other things work just fine [20:43] open Terminal and type in the following: sudo apt-get update [20:44] does the out put give you any instructions to fix the issue? [20:46] sry was in the other forum..just switched over...trying that now [20:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1213690/ <-- thats what happened, toward the bottom of it you will see a bunch of errors and fails... [20:54] well that's awkward [20:54] the GPG signature for the official repos is bad [20:55] that shouldn't stop you from running a package manager, though [20:55] any suggestions? or think i should just reinstall Ubuntu and start fresh? [20:56] not at all [20:56] GPG errors are easy to fix [20:56] see here gypsy_blood : http://cortman.wordpress.com/2012/02/27/how-to-fix-gpg-errors-in-ubuntu/ [20:56] o ok [20:57] thanks for the link, cortman [20:57] was looking for that [20:57] np dniMretsaM - didn't mean to butt in, but I wrote that up just so I didn't have to repeat myself. :) [20:57] yeah thnx...so i just use those commands in order from top to bottom correct? [20:58] lol it's np [20:58] Yep [20:58] gypsy_blood, ^^ [20:58] run each line separate [20:58] one at a time [20:58] 9 times out of 10 that fixes it [20:58] kk, trying....... [21:03] hah, wow, that worked like a charm, all 3 programs working just how they're suppose to, thanks so much [21:03] yay! [21:03] no problem [21:04] any particular reason why that problem would occur? [21:04] so that i can try to avoid it in the future [21:05] I don't think it's user influenced at all [21:05] A corrupted packages list download? [21:05] Could be a number of things- I don't know what specifically causes it. [21:06] oh ok, well, only things i have downloaded is stuff that comes up in the update manager...is it recommended to just update with everything it offers or should i pick and choose, and if pick in choose, how do i tell which is good which isnt? [21:06] It's best to upgrade everything [21:07] kk [21:07] at least now thnx to your guys help, i know how to fix the problem if it occurs again [21:07] you bet! [21:08] And if you need any more help feel free to use the forums or this channel [21:08] hope to see you around :) [21:08] and 1 other question....is there a good link for Terminal Commands List? [21:08] im very noob with that, and hardly know how to do anything, trying to teach myself [21:08] heh my specialty [21:09] I put together this wiki page (with a number of people's contributions) : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandLineResources [21:10] oh ok, great thnx [21:10] np [21:10] especially recommend Greg's wiki [21:10] i can do some of the basics...but VERY basic from when i used my dads old comp years ago, it ran in the Command Prompt and didnt have windows [21:11] everyone starts somewhere. :) [21:11] I didn't know squat about CLI before I started using Linux [21:11] but all i knew how to do with that was just navigate through folders and directories and all...now im takin it to the next level lol [21:12] I still don't know much, but more than when I started. [21:12] yeah...i use to want to be a computer programmer...but then i started smoking weed and kinda put that on the back burner...years later = dont do that anymore and its back on the front burner lol [21:13] Well good for you for quitting and putting that behind you [21:16] yeah...thnx, just wasnt really me...but im hard headed lol, gotta learn everything the hard way...guess thats a good quality with learning programming tho, i love a challenge =D [21:34] does anyone know if there is an easy fix to this....my cd drive will read everything....will burn cd's....but wont burn dvd's [21:38] gypsy_blood: are you sure the drive supports writing DVDs? [21:38] dniMretsaM: yes, it use to work fine...a few months ago it stopped working properly...honestly im leaning toward bad hardware [21:39] did it stop working when you used Windows as well? [21:39] yes [21:40] someone helped me the other day with how to use cdrecord, and found out that that i could burn cd's at least...but when i tried doing a dvd with cdrecord, it didnt work [21:40] then I would have to guess bad hardware [21:40] possibly a bad laser or something [21:41] is there any way to test that without installing new hardware? [21:42] I have no idea. maybe take the drive out, stick it in a computer that does burn DVDs and test it thereL [21:42] ?* [21:43] its in a laptop...dont have another laptop, think maybe just taking it out and putting it back in would be worth a try? or just waste of time? [21:43] I guess the connecter could be loose or you could have a damaged wire. couldn't hurt to check [21:44] hmm, k thnx...im gonna try that [21:45] guess ill try it now, see what happens... [22:20] hi what is the difference between lubuntu-core and lubuntu-desktop? [22:24] bizhanMona, please see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall#Full_install_or_core_install.3F - Other than that, there is also a #lubuntu channel. ;) [22:28] krytarik: thanks [22:29] You're welcome - hope that helps already. :)
